When you use the word Alexa wake, a ring around the screen colors up so you know shes listening. it was similar on the earlier Echos but now there is a touch screen staring at you as well.

Amazon echo spots AI is just on the point it gets what you are trying to say in any tone and its kind of impressive. It can set reminders, tell your kids bedtime stories, play songs, give you information from the internet etc.

The Spot can show much more because of a screen. If you ask for news, it can show a bulletin on the screen from news organizations you like.

The screen lets you do another thing which you cant on other Echo devices, that is to shopping. This could be a major reason Amazon decided to add a screen to Echo. All you had to say is add something to your cart and its ready to check out.

The best feature is the video calling capability of the Echo Spot. You can make a video call from the Spot to anyone with the Alexa app on their phone/desktop, or someone with another Spot.

Amazon Echo Spot costs around 18,000pkr.
